Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 50864-6 terminal is determined by the following critical parameters: pin diameter acceptance range, overall length, socket depth, mounting hole diameter, flange diameter, contact material, termination type, and operating temperature range. These parameters establish the mechanical and electrical interface requirements for direct replacement in connector assemblies.

The substitute parts are grouped into two categories:

Manufacturer Recommended Substitute (Direct Equivalent): Parts that maintain identical or equivalent specifications across all critical parameters while offering improved product status or compliance certifications.

Similar Manufacturer Substitute (Functional Alternative): Parts from alternative manufacturers that provide compatible pin acceptance ranges and mechanical dimensions within acceptable tolerances, though minor variations in secondary specifications may exist.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection: TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5050864-6

The 5050864-6 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete 50864-6. This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: pin diameter acceptance (0.026" ~ 0.033"), overall length (0.257"), socket depth (0.244"), mounting hole diameter (0.062" ~ 0.063"), flange diameter (0.080"), contact material (Beryllium Copper), and operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 126°C). The 5050864-6 carries Active product status and RoHS Compliant certification, addressing regulatory compliance requirements. This part is available in bulk packaging with substantial inventory (15,794 pcs) and represents the direct equivalent for replacement applications.

Secondary Selection: Mill-Max Manufacturing Corp. 0295-0-15-01-06-01-10-0

The 0295-0-15-01-06-01-10-0 provides functional compatibility for applications where minor dimensional variations are acceptable. This part accepts pin diameters of 0.022" ~ 0.032", which overlaps the upper range of the original specification. Dimensional differences include socket depth (0.233" versus 0.244") and flange diameter (0.077" versus 0.080"). The operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C) is slightly narrower than the original part. This substitute carries Active product status and is suitable for applications where the pin diameter overlap and dimensional tolerances align with design requirements. The contact finish is Tin-Lead with increased thickness (200.0µin), which may provide different electrical characteristics compared to the original Tin finish.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5050864-6 be used as a direct replacement for the 50864-6?

A: Yes. The 5050864-6 maintains identical specifications for pin diameter acceptance, overall length, socket depth, mounting hole diameter, flange diameter, contact material, and operating temperature range. The part is electrically and mechanically compatible for direct substitution in existing designs.

Q: What is the primary advantage of selecting the 5050864-6 over the original 50864-6?

A: The 5050864-6 is classified as Active product status with RoHS Compliant certification, whereas the 50864-6 is Obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. The 5050864-6 ensures long-term availability and regulatory compliance for new designs and ongoing production.

Q: Can the Mill-Max 0295-0-15-01-06-01-10-0 be used as a substitute?

A: The 0295-0-15-01-06-01-10-0 provides functional compatibility with overlapping pin diameter acceptance (0.022" ~ 0.032" includes the 0.026" ~ 0.033" range). However, dimensional differences exist in socket depth (0.233" versus 0.244") and flange diameter (0.077" versus 0.080"). This part is suitable only for applications where these dimensional variations are acceptable within design tolerances.

Q: What are the key differences between the contact finishes of these parts?

A: The 50864-6 and 5050864-6 both feature Tin contact finish at 100.0µin thickness. The 0295-0-15-01-06-01-10-0 features Tin-Lead contact finish at 200.0µin thickness. Contact finish composition and thickness affect electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, and solderability characteristics.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the substitute parts?

A: The 50864-6 original specification does not specify packaging type. The 5050864-6 is available in Bulk packaging. The 0295-0-15-01-06-01-10-0 is also available in Bulk packaging. Packaging type affects handling, storage, and procurement logistics.

Q: What is the operating temperature difference between the 0295-0-15-01-06-01-10-0 and the original part?

A: The original 50864-6 operates from -65°C to 126°C. The 0295-0-15-01-06-01-10-0 operates from -55°C to 125°C. The Mill-Max part has a narrower low-temperature range (10°C higher minimum) and slightly lower maximum temperature (1°C lower). Applications requiring operation below -55°C require the TE Connectivity parts.

Q: How do the pin diameter acceptance ranges compare?

A: The 50864-6 and 5050864-6 accept pin diameters of 0.026" ~ 0.033". The 0295-0-15-01-06-01-10-0 accepts pin diameters of 0.022" ~ 0.032". The Mill-Max part accommodates pins as small as 0.022" but has a maximum of 0.032", which is 0.001" smaller than the original specification. Pins at the upper end of the original range (0.033") will not fit in the Mill-Max receptacle.

Q: What inventory levels are available for each substitute?

A: The 5050864-6 has 15,794 pcs in stock. The 0295-0-15-01-06-01-10-0 has 1,067 pcs in stock. The 5050864-6 offers significantly higher availability for production requirements.
